Assuming Wilder get the point deduction the announcers mentioned, we have Wilder 115-113, but with two 10-10 rounds so it could be a draw, probably one judge will give 114-114, one 117-113, one 115-113, so likely a majority decision for Wilder.

Judges score it: 115-111 Wilder; 115-112 Chisora; 115-113 Wilder

That's fair, I think. Split decision for Wilder.
